Synopsis
As the study of biodiversity, resource management, and endangered species preservation becomes increasingly quantitative in nature, the importance of modeling and simulation is growing steadily. This book is the first to review the quantitative tools used in conservation biology. The topics covered include population viability analysis, population dynamics, meta-population models, estimating risks and timing of extinction, quasi-extinction, recovery dynamics, land-use, population genetics, and genetics of bottleneck populations. The book is aimed at the practicing biologist and land-use manager, and will be invaluable to students in conservation biology, ecology, and natural resources.
